After the change from revision 30103, nixos-rebuild suddenly consumed
freaky amounts of memory. I had to abort the process after it had
allocated well in excess of 30GB(!) of RAM. I'm not sure what is causing
this behavior, but undoing that assignment fixes the problem. The other
two commits needed to be revoked, too, because they depend on 30103.

mounts from the initrd used by the installation CD.

shutdown. (Portmap and statd are needed during shutdown to unmount
NFS volumes but have open files in /var/run.)
* In the shutdown job, don't kill PIDs belonging to Upstart jobs that
are still running. If they don't stop on the "starting shutdown"
event, then they're needed during shutdown (such as portmap and
statd).
* NFS test: test whether the shutdown quickly unmounts NFS volumes
(i.e. whether portmap and statd are still running).

swapfiles cannot be unmounted or even remounted read-only.
* In the remount, pass `-t none' to get a more informative error
message if the filesystem is in use.

`su'.
* The `usermod' from `shadow' allows setting a supplementary group
equal to the user's primary group, so the special hack for the
`nixbld' group is no longer needed.
* Removed /etc/default/passwd since it's not used by the new passwd.
The hash is configured in pam_unix.
* Move some values for `security.setuidPrograms' and
`security.pam.services' to the appropriate modules.

This ensures that they're gone by the time the shutdown job runs, so
it doesn't have to stop them itself.
* Don't respawn tasks, as it doesn't seem useful (if they fail they're
likely to fail again if they're restarted).

/nix bind mounted from a fs not rootfs.
As niksnut found, if the sources of bind mounted directories are
umounted before remounting them as "ro", a "mount -o remount,ro" on the
bind targets will not leave the filesystem properly umounted, the same
way as a "-o remount,ro" would do on a usual filesystem.
So, the trick of always remounting as 'ro' before attempting an umount seems
to fix the problem.

statically configured interface (i.e. we're not running dhclient).
Otherwise the ntpd job won't be triggered.
* Use the "-n" flag of "initctl emit" to send the event
asynchronously.

no longer emits specific events for those. Instead it emits a
"runlevel" event. The "runlevel" task starts the "shutdown" task to
perform the desired action.
* Upstart 0.6 no longer has a "shutdown" event, so "stop on shutdown"
no longer works. Therefore the shutdown task explicitly stops all
running Upstart jobs, before sending a TERM/KILL signal to all
remaining processes.
* Do a "chvt 1" at the start of the shutdown task to switch to the
console.
* Use /dev/console instead of /dev/tty1, since if somebody is logged
in on tty1, bad things will happen.

style of declaring Upstart jobs. While at it, converted them to the
current NixOS module style and improved some option descriptions.
Hopefully I didn't break too much :-)

ove QEMU (and other NixOS instances that use a remote filesystem like
NFS):
* Don't take down the network interfaces during shutdown.
* Don't try to unmount the Nix store. Usually, this doesn't work
because it's still in use, but on remote filesystems like CIFS the
`-f' umount flag actually works.
